There is a RC timing circuit on the microprocessor RESET line. It is
common for the value of the C electrolytic to decrease with age. Thus
the original RC time constant value has changed. That can be the cause
of the MP "not coming to life". Change the C to a new cap, typically
4.4 uF. I prefer to use a Tantalum type cap.
Also, take time to clean all of the cable connectors, male and female
pins. Use a Q-Tip cotton swab moistened with contact cleaner. Scrub
the male pins and then exercise them on the female pins.

Have read the problem is Z3 zener diode on the logic board.
Has anyone had/resolved this problem by changing Z3?
